Research Experience:

Got sanctioned an independent project under young scientists
scheme of department of Department of Science and Technology, Government
of India, with a total funding of 10.55 Lack Rupees. The title of
the Project is " Assessment of the temporal variability of
paleo-hypoxia in the west coast of India based on benthic foraminiferal
indices

Completed one and a half years of postdoctoral research on climatically
important gas, Dimethyl sulfide (DMS), its distribution and influence
of physical forcing on the production and distribution of it.

Completed three and half years of research work focusing mainly
on Neogene paleoclimatic and paleoceanographic evolution of northeastern
Indian Ocean, using benthic faunal and isotopic data from ODP Site
758A. The main phases of the work can be summarized as follows.

Identification of over 200 benthic foraminiferal species
and important planktic foraminifers and pteropods.

Cruise Experience:

Participated in 148th 149th and 158th Cruises of ORV Sagar Kanya
in the Arabian Sea and in the Bay of Bengal and in several field trips
in coastal waters. Trained in the following off shore techniques.

Higher abundance and sea-to-air fluxes of dimethyl sulphide during
the IFP-1999 than during the FFP-1998 of the INDOEX program. D.M.
